This is one seriously good looking car. Most powerful 1.6 in history @ 190kW...

That is quite nice looking for anything...
I'd take it over any GTi/OPC/ST out there.
Problem is everyone on the highway is going to overtake it when the guy has to take a peek under his bonnet.

Not necessarily - our Picasso HDI has the same motor as the 1.6TDCI Fiesta and Focus. The 1.4 and 1.6 petrol motors were developed jointly with BMW.
I'm very glad to see Citroen regaining some of its charm. Their current model range is pretty damn spiffy, and if they can expand and improve their after-sales support, I can only foresee them gaining ground in the local market.
Also, I want a DS5...

Oh yes, of course. I forgot BMW helped out
Our first Renault had a Nissan engine. Never had a problem. Second one had a Renault engine... bad mojo dude

Yup. Also, this one was tuned by Citroen Racing, who is responsible for the WRC DS3... They are doing rather well in the WRC.

Looks great. I have the DS4 200 THP sport. Received her a week ago. Its a lovely car. And excellent built quality and I can see that Citroen really upped their game. The DS4 racing should be epic.

I watched a review on Fifth Gear last night. Insane little hatch.

Had various examples of those in our extended family over the years. My uncle had, up until recently, what was probably one of the best examples of this in the world:
And another uncle had one of these:
One's on my dad's side of the family, the other on my mom's.
I'm very happy to be perpetuating the family fixation with the Frenchies with the Picasso.

Not the DS4 Racing, I presume. Probably the 200 THP that Sandman3000 has.

Aah. Yeah. The DS4 Racing is only being unveiled at the Geneva show in a couple of weeks. Can't wait. Quite a few exciting cars debuting there...

I'm really loving the Citroen D range of cars. I sat in the DS4 at the motor show and I was extremely impressed. This DS4 racing is really nice. Anyone know price? I'm thiking probably GTI territory.

If it gets built it'll be a lot more dear than a GTI. The DS3 Racing is already R400k - the Racing models are seriously limited; only 500 DS3 Racings available worldwide.
